The refresh of the Quince Orchard branch is well underway. All of the furniture which will be replaced and the old service desks have been removed. Carpeting throughout the library has been torn up and will be replaced with new carpeting.

In the library’s meeting room, manual blinds will be replaced with motorized versions and a new motorized room divider will be installed where the current manual divider exists.

Most of the collection will remain in the branch, but is wrapped in plastic to protect it from dust.

Trenching is being done in the exposed concrete floors so that new cabling and electrical wiring can be installed to run the relocated computer workstations, the new adjustable height service desks, and other enhancements.

The preparation begins!

In addition to the above, other changes that are underway (or will be soon) include the complete gutting and renovation of the public restrooms, the addition of more electrical outlets where new seating will be located, and the installation of new tile flooring in the meeting room and the Discovery Room.

New lounge furniture has been ordered for the area at the front of the building where the information desk was previously located. A new ATW (Assistive Technology Workstation) will replace the ADA workstation.

So, when the Quince Orchard branch reopens in the fall, we anticipate welcoming our customers back to a bright, clean facility with many improvements to the branch and its ease of use.
